Movies by Moonlight lineup announced

The popular Movies by Moonlight series at HemisFair Park starts back up in 2012 in less than a month. Usually held Thursday nights, this year the city has switched it to Tuesday so that people can take advantage of the Downtown Tuesdays free-parking initiative (starts at 5 p.m.).

It’s also an extremely kid-friendly lineup. Looking at the list, I assume mostly families will be going. So if you were looking to take your honey or babe to Movies by Moonlight, then you don’t have a lot of options. I can do the ironic, modern kids movies with jokes for the parents like “Shrek.” But there’s no way in hell I’m seeing “Hop.” Although, that “The Tale of Despereaux” looks good. There’s a place in my heart for animated movies that have mice as protagonists. Fievel lives!

• June 5: “Hop”
• June 12: “The Fox and the Hound”
• June 19: “Puss in Boots”
• June 26: “Open Season”
